'The Watch' -- 2 stars

R; 1:42 running time Timing is everything in comedy. When a neighborhood-watch volunteer was charged with shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin earlier this year -- in real life, that is -- 20th Century Fox changed the title of its forthcoming comedy from "Neighborhood Watch" to"The Watch"so as to disassociate. But following the Aurora, Colo., movie theater massacre, the scene of Hill (playing an erratic wannabe police officer) revealing his secret bedroom weapons cache to his pals, or the sight of Stiller and Vaughn firing and refiring and re-refiring their handguns into the body of a long-dead alien ... well, that second bit almost works, through sheer, hammering repetition. But it sticks in the craw. The whole movie does. -- Michael PhillipsRead the full "The Watch" movie review
